It's a place to start

OK I am going to powdercoat the case either white or black, let me know what you think I should go for.

 

So have been thinking I would do some small upgrades to my rig to make it a bit more future proof. Went to my local PC shop and ended spending a lot more than expected. I came away with:

 

ASUS Maximus 6 Formula

2 x ASUS R9 280 Matrix in crossfire

4770K

32GB G-Skill Trident ddr3 2400 ram

256 Samsung 840 pro SSD

2 x 2TB WD black Hdd

Corsair H100i AIO cooler

Corsair As1200i PSU

 

The install is a bit of a mess at the mo, but the idea is to rip it all out and water cool it all properly anyway. Then it's time to sleve the cables and expand the military theme a bit further.

Dem Matrix Cards...  :wub:

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

I am planning on moving the drives up to the 5.25" bays and mounting the SSD somewhere else. This means that I can rip out both the drive bays and also make room for a 240 rad at the front. 

 

I know it's a mess at the moment, was all just chucked in yesterday to make sure it all works. Will try and find the time to give it a tidy up ASAP.

Wow.........Looks smooth....Like a babies bottom

 

 

Although....Why the 1200 watt power supply?

Because it was on special and was actually cheaper than the 850w one I was looking at originally.

The red ram will eventually be sorted out, it annoys me too. 

 

Will be sorting the drives and cable management this weekend so will post some more pics then too.

The build is insanely nice and those two Matrix cards.... oh man... I love them, however in my opinion it would look even sweeter if the case was black, that military green looks a bit out of place, at least for me.

eventually the case will blend into the overall theme of the build, as will the motherboard and GPU's.

 

I know the PSU is OP, but as it was on special for less than an 850w one it was too good a deal to pass up.
